Originally ephemeral pamphlets sold by traveling peddlers, or
'chap-men', chapbooks have enjoyed a long and illustrious history,
surviving in print form from the sixteenth century until today--in
fact, much contemporary poetry has first appeared in small-press
chapbooks, most frequently folded sheets stapled in the crease.
BlueRose compiles ten chapbooks by Michael R. Collings, with
publication dates ranging from the early 1980s to 2011.
Individually they explore a variety of themes, topics, and
forms--the wit and cleverness of limericks; the ethereal grace of
haiku; the directness and humor of children's verses. One of the
chapbooks contains only short poems, several of them one or two
words long; another is a single extended look into the mind and
career of one of the greatest sixteenth-century poets through the
mediation of his mother's will. One celebrates vitality and energy;
another celebrates loving memories of lives well spent. All present
readers with carefully chosen words woven into thought-provoking
lines. Fans of Michael R. Collings's work will find in this new
collection a treasure trove of words and thoughts and feelings to
savor and enjoy.
